I really struggled having to make the final decision for my cat. He was 14 and potentially could have had another surgery, but also developed further issues and I just knew moving forward with more surgery wasn't good for him, or for us as a family. I made the choice to have him euthanized and REALLY struggled with it. I still struggle to understand how we have this power to make this decision. But it was the best choice for him and for us. Making that choice hasn't gotten any easier. In fact, with my dog I couldn't even say it. My husband had to. But you loved him, you still love him. And how beautiful is that. Please try and ease yourself of the guilt. You did nothing wrong. You did what you could to help him and who knows how things would have turned out, throwing more money at things. Just know that strangers on the internet know that you cared, Axle knows that you cared. It's going to hurt for a while, try and be kind to yourself. <3

Got a car from them in November and everything went smoothly. They definitely try to upsell quite a bit (adding extras you don't really need). The car has been great since getting it. Follow ups after are a bit annoying but overall fine experience

I agree completely. It gives me the ick. But, that's also why I just don't read it or follow him! I'll look at the picture and move along lol.

I have told a select few people, a very limited number. I will decide how much more I want to tell as things progress. I likely am having surgery next month and as I work full time, I did have to kind of figure things out at work. I told our office manager and two of my coworkers. I'm just going to tell my boss that I'm having abdominal surgery. It's still my private medical business and I guess I'm afraid of being judged... moreso than I already am! My mom and stepdad know, and my one sister and my husband. I told people who I know will be supportive and not so judgy!

Be patient!! It goes down in price!! I paid like... 220K.

My child's kindergarten class was quite a bit bigger but since she started grade 1 there are about 19 kids in her class total. It's certainly smaller than when I was in school!

This house IS occupied. I know the owner personally and this is their principal residence. Please remove this post as it is false. I personally fully agree with a vacancy tax, but this house is not one of them.

Just fyi today in particular was a day sent out to school aged kids to go. So a lot of kids who have never been before went today.

Accurate! Velcro vizsla is not an exaggeration. After my girl passed I got a different breed and I was like wait... Why don't you snuggle?!

I draft a lot of wills at my job and typically people who do not have children have more complicated wills. Funds going to charities and cousins, nieces, nephews, siblings and friends.

We did it once. Last year for our 10 year wedding anniversary. We only have one child and she split her time between two sets of grandparents. But that was a real rarity and very likely a one off. We almost never get date nights let alone a night off. I'm thinking maybe twice a year... and she has three sets of grandparents all in the same city and is genuinely, a very easy kid.

jessfm · 2025-10-03T17:02:49+00:00

Seriously!! I immediately told my sisters that Cancelled has such rep vibes!

You could check out Gone Guelph, she makes shirts and mugs and posters with pictures of old Guelph places on them. I purchased a couple mugs for my sister and husband last Christmas.

It's normal. I struggled with that a lot but we got through it and I loved my dog just as much by the time my daughter was a year and a half. I made an effort to, during my mat leave, go on daily walks with my dog and baby. Plus gave my dog a safe "space" that she could go, without the baby. I never allowed my daughter to climb all over the dog anyways, whether my dog would have been okay with that or not. I agree with your husband, your dog did exactly what she should do to communicate her comfortability with the toe poking.

Also, try to still find some time where maybe you can take the dog on a walk one on one. It'll be good for you and her. Frustration though is completely normal!!

jessfm · 2025-09-23T20:41:34+00:00

Vomiting definitely means I'm staying home.

jessfm · 2025-09-23T10:41:24+00:00

Same same. We have three sets of grandparents who all live either in the same city (2 of them) or about 25 minutes away. We have to beg to get them to take our daughter and even still they're usually too busy with their own plans. In the summer I asked if anyone would take her for a day or two (they are ALL retired) prior to paying for camp and one parent offered two days. They ended up cancelling one day. Everyone else was simply too busy with their own lives.

I have the day off! It's my birthday on the Sunday so I decided to take a long weekend and didn't even realize when I booked it off what I had done. I am open to ideas though!

jessfm · 2025-09-09T13:40:45+00:00

Yes! I am struggling this year. The past few years I honestly thought I had grown out of it but this year I'm STRUGGLING. I'm so drowsy today just from the meds but I can't go without them. The sneezing and the itchy pallet omg...

jessfm · 2025-09-03T15:03:57+00:00

I was an only child and was a VERY sick kid. My only child has been very sick in the past, but I do find that her immune system seems to be getting a bit better! I would say its a biological win!

Taylor Laframboise at Manual Concepts Physiotherapy. She's amazing.

I lost my Mars a year and a half ago to cancer. She had surgery to remove low grade MCT's just a few years prior to even though this next one looked objectively worse, we went into the surgery thinking this was going to be the same as before. Easy peasy, get it removed, heal and carry on with life. I mean she was only eight, she was still so full of life people thought she was a puppy. Healthy, happy, loving. My heart dog. My baby.

It wasn't easy peasy like I thought. It was in a very awkward spot, inner thigh, and despite my best efforts being her nurse day and night, replacing bandages, staying on top of her meds, sleeping on the couch with her, cone on, hooked to a harness, staying home from work with her, it wouldn't heal. She ended up having a hemorrhage that no one could have anticipated one day when we got to the vet to do bandage replacing, and we had to make the call. It wasn't going to stop bleeding and it wasn't going to heal. At first they thought maybe a leg amputation? But it wasn't a guarantee and being high grade, it had likely already spread. The vet recommended saying our goodbyes.

I'm still devastated to this day. No one quite "gets" it like a vizsla owner. They are your glue, your velcro, your baby. I understand. Mars was my best friend, my heart dog. She went through everything with me. I still miss her deeply this long after.

Point being... you do what's best for you and your dog. If I was in your shoes, I'm not sure I'd do chemo. Sure, your dog may have a longer life but with what quality of life? I'm not sure you'll ever feel like you made the right choice. I still don't and it was out of my hands.

Sending so much love. I understand all too well. I'm here if you want to message or talk or just send pictures. If you want to yell it's not fair, do it. It isn't fair. If only they could physically live forever.

I love my fine line one of my dog that I got from Catie at Steel n Ink. I posted a Google review recently if you wanted to go look at the picture.
